"The second round of the series is a best-of-seven game, and our team has only lost two games now, as long as we haven't lost at home, then the NBA playoffs haven't come to an end, don't you know that the real start of the NBA playoffs is when one team wins away and one team loses at home?"

"The Jazz have a very good table in this game, they have a very good roster, we are not fully healthy right now, Thiem is not back now, his injury is not good now, we have no plans to bring him back in this series, but even without Tim, we believe we can have a chance to win this series"

When the Jazz defeated the Warriors twice in a row at home, as the head coach of the Warriors, Nelson Sr. was a little faceless, losing two games in a row away, and the score of the loss was not very big, every game did not lose more than ten points, although the score of loss was not very big, but every game the Warriors were behind in one game, and there was almost no lead or reversal in the whole game, except for the first game, the Warriors also reversed the first time, and the second game was not even reversed. ~~~~

If you don't look at the score and just look at the content of these two games, the Warriors can be said to be hanging by the Jazz!

It's not a joy for any NBA head coach to be hung in a game, because it means they don't see any hope of winning, and even the least optimistic about the Jazz don't think the Warriors can still pose much of a threat to the Jazz right now. As long as they can't get past Linkham on the offensive end, then they can't continue to carry out Nelson's crazy defensive strategy to let go of Stockton, let go of Russell, let go of David Wesley, or even go of Linham. The reason why even Lin Han dared to let go of Lin Han directly in the first game of this team was because this team was confident that its team's offensive ability could make up for all the points that were released?

And now, when the Warriors have Lin Han in front of them, their offense is no longer so reliable, so they have not let go of the capital of Stockton and others, which directly affects the defensive efficiency of this team, and Malone almost took more than 3o points on the inside of the Warriors in this game. And the interior combination of Malone and Lin Han hit more than 6o points in this game, which almost ravaged the Warriors' defense, and the reason why the Warriors didn't have any chance of winning in this game was that their interior line was completely blown up by the Jazz in this game. The Warriors, who don't dare to shrink completely, want to rely on Webber and Owens and limited assistance to defend Malone and Lin Han, it is impossible.

However, after this game, in the post-game press conference, faced with the sophistry of Nelson Sr. There is nothing these journalists can do either. Although everyone knows that this series is basically a little hopeful for the Warriors.

"The series is a seven-game format, and Mr. Nelson is right, and now the Jazz have won two home games, but we still haven't won on the road, so for both sides, it's kind of a way to say that the playoffs haven't fully opened yet, and if the Warriors can win the home game, then the pressure will be on our side. The Warriors are a very great player, and they have the ability to do that."

Of course, at this time, old Nelson was really angry enough by the two 'little bastards' Ma Long and Lin Han. Although the old coach also knows that if his team can't find a way to deal with Lin Han, it is almost impossible to win this series, but at this time he just doesn't admit it, I have to say that this NBA crazy real Yàn family is also a little childish, but what surprised the old Nelson is that in his opinion, it has always been relatively old-fashioned, and the Jazz head coach Jerry Sloan, who has been in an extremely bad situation recently, will actually speak for him at this time, and the key is not that Jerry Sloan speaks for him, It's that the head coach of the Jazz team now has no anxiety at the beginning of the series, and there is less melancholy and gloom between his eyebrows, which makes Nelson Sr. a little surprised.

As a head coach with a lot of coaching experience, of course he knows what kind of problems the head coach of the Jazz team is encountering now, even if he can't guess it completely, he can guess a rough idea, if it weren't for Jerry Sloan's 'cooperation', he wouldn't be so resolute in a game of pit Linham and Malone, if the head coach of the Jazz team was Phil Jackson or Pat Riley, he would never do this.

"This guy looks a lot more mature."

After glancing at Jerry Sloan with some surprise at the end, the elder Nelson also thought a little gloomy in his heart that as an opponent, when their players continue to grow in the game, and their head coach also grows in the game, this is definitely not a good thing.

"Mr. Nelson, at the World Championships held in Canada this offseason, Isaiah Thomas, a player of the Dream II team, announced his retirement yesterday and will withdraw from the Dream II team's training team, and just now you said that Tim Hardaway will not return this season, so will you consider other people for the remaining two defenders in the Dream II team's training team, such as Lin Han or Anfernee Hardaway?"

Just when the old Nelson looked at Jerry Sloan, who was very relaxed and smiling, his face became even more difficult to look at when the old coach heard this question, for the old Nelson, coaching the Dream Second Team is not an honorable thing for him.

Dream Team 1 is participating in the Olympic Games, Dream Team 2 is participating in the World Championships, as one of the most senior head coaches in the NBA now, he naturally hopes that he will lead the Dream Team to participate in the Olympic Games, but two years ago, he could not compete with Chuck Daly for the position of head coach of the Dream Team 1, not to mention that he didn't have any chance, even the league's most popular head coach Pat Riley, who was extremely enthusiastic about this position at the time, didn't have any chance, and even Pat Riley didn't even have the opportunity to be an assistant coach, of course, Nelson Sr. doesn't have as much enthusiasm as Pat Riley, but he also wants to be an NBA assistant coach for Dream Team, but he doesn't have any chance of becoming an assistant coach. Because the city where the 1996 Olympics were held was not Golden State, but Atlanta, and Atlanta had a head coach in the NBA who was no less qualified than him and Pat Riley. As one of the pride of the city of Atlanta, Wilkens is almost the head coach of the Dream Three team and the assistant coach of the Dream One team.

But fortunately, the old Nelson is indeed more popular than Pat Riley, although the Dream Three team has no chance, he can't let go of Wilkens, so the U.S. team selection committee is very considerate to make him the head coach of the Dream II team to lead the team to play in the World Championships, although this result is not the best. But compared to Pat Riley and Phil Jackson who didn't catch anything, he was relatively lucky, you must know that Phil Jackson got such a result. The Bulls head coach directly said that he would not have anything to do with the American team in the future, of course, Pat Riley, who has always had an Olympic dream in his heart, did not give up directly like Phil Jackson because he was hit and knew that he had no chance.

Coaching the Dream Team 2 is not the result that Nelson Sr. wants most, but fortunately, it can be regarded as a fulfillment of his dream team. It's just that last year, when he was very depressed when he was selecting players for this year's Dream Second Team. I hope that some of the NBA's famous superstars can join in, but what makes Nelson Sr. very unhappy is that none of the famous superstars are willing to accompany him to Canada, which is not attractive in the eyes of NBA players, so when the Dream II team selected people, the coach also made a joke, one by one the players went to invite people, and then were rejected one by one, which made his face actually hurt.

So although he is the head coach of the Dream II team. He also has a certain player option, and with his seniority he can take anyone he wants. But what he didn't like the most was being asked, because the shadow of last year was so great.

"The matter of the members of the Dream II team is not something that needs to be discussed at this time, we will not choose players because of a player's fame, we need to look at the needs of the team, Lin Han is a very good player, but he may not be in line with the idea of building the Dream II team, as for Anferne, I admire him, his table this season is human"

When the old Nelson finished speaking, the group of reporters on the scene were all stunned, and then immediately became excited again, the meaning of the old Nelson's words was already obvious, Lin Han did not meet his requirements, but Hardaway had a chance to substitute into the second dream team!

However, after the old Nelson finished speaking, Jerry Sloan, who was on the side, also raised his eyebrows at this time, but soon returned to normal, and it seemed that he didn't care about Old Nelson's words at all.

Recently, because of Isaiah Thomas's retirement, although the NBA is holding the playoffs, but a former NBA king has retired, it is impossible to have no movement, although because of a team like the Pistons, Isaiah Thomas's popularity is not as high as Jordan or Magic, but he also suppressed Jordan in Jordan's rookie season, although Jordan has been pressed in the second most popular guard position in the East for the next eight years, But being suppressed by Jordan's popularity in the second place, although this is really a shame for Thomas, but it is not a shame for others, even if the magician, if Jordan goes to the West, it will still be the second in 10,000 years.

Of course, in addition to Isaiah Thomas's retirement, which is very embarrassing, and the three major players of the year, Thomas, Larry Bird and Magic all left the NBA, which makes people a little melancholy, more people are looking at the vacated position of the Dream Second Team after Thomas's retirement. In recent times, many fans have been expecting Limham and Hardaway to be on the list.

But in the end, what disappointed many fans who supported Lin Han was that they really didn't expect that old Nelson would be so resolute in his rejection of Lin Han, not to mention that these fans couldn't think of it, even Lin Han couldn't think of it.

"Even if you want to invite me, I won't go"

When the day after the game with the Warriors, when Lin Han saw the old Nelson's evaluation of himself as not suitable for the Dream II team in the newspaper, Lin Han threw the newspaper away with some anger and said hatefully, although he never wanted to participate in the World Championships, but he was still a little unhappy when the old Nelson said this.

Of course. Although Lin Han didn't care much about the affairs of the Dream Second Team, being rejected by a soft nail like Old Nelson still made Lin Han be ridiculed by his teammates when he came to the team the next day, after all. Stockton and Ma Long, the two undisciplined guys, are both players of the Dream Team 1, and he Lin Han can't even enter the Dream Team 2.

"Hahaha, Lin, you are too much, you must know that last year the old Nelson asked me to beg me to play in the World Championships but I refused, you are far from me, hahaha"

Looking at the team's inside line, Lin Han was really a little speechless than that presumptuous laughter.

Of course. Recently, Nelson Sr.'s refusal to allow Lin Han to participate in the Dream II team has been hyped, and another thing about the playoffs has indeed made many NBA fans feel very interesting.

That's another second-round matchup in the West, a series between the Nuggets and the Rockets. The Nuggets lost two more games in a row, and just like the team lost two games in a row in the previous round, they were both routs, both of which were close to twenty points of loss. It's just that at this time, there aren't many fans wondering if the Rockets can sweep the Nuggets. Instead, I wondered if the Nuggets could rise again like they did in the previous round, winning four games in a row and sweeping the Rockets out of the tournament.

Since the Nuggets successfully counterattacked the Suns in the first round of Black Seven and the Rockets in the case of O 2 behind, this year's 2 to O score seems to have been played by these teams, fans will subconsciously think of the counterattack as long as they see this score, especially the Rockets and Nuggets' matchup, although the Rockets won the Nuggets a little strongly, but this does not mean that there is really such a big gap in the strength of the two sides, In fact, if it weren't for Olajuwon's 26 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists and 6 blocks in the first game and 46 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 6 blocks and 4 steals in the second game, it would be difficult to say how the first two games of this round of matchup were. You know, in the first two games, the Nuggets didn't fall behind much before the fourth quarter.

And the Rockets' dominant outside lineman, Sprewell, allowed the first-round Mutombo to brush up on 6 blocks and 8 blocks in two games. The Nuggets' dominant player is still playing a crazy block list.

Therefore, unlike the game between the Warriors and the Jazz, it seems that the Warriors were suppressed by the Jazz, although the Nuggets lost two games, this team really has a chance to win.

Of course, at this time, NBA fans are waiting for the Nuggets to counterattack the Rockets, and the two matchups in the second round of the East are a little anxious, the Knicks who are the first in the East face the Magic team that is fourth in the East, and the first two games are 1 to 1, which is not how good the Magic team is, O'Neal is still very miserable in the second round, the Magic team and the Knicks have played five times in the regular season this season, and the Knicks have won three games, In terms of strength, the Magic team is naturally not as good as the Knicks, and more importantly, although O'Neal and Ewing played in the regular season as badly as last season, but it is also not how good the table is, this season O'Neal is at a disadvantage in the face of the other three centers, and this is especially obvious in the playoffs, facing Ewing who was robbed of three center positions by him, O'Neal continued the slump in the first round, and the reason why the Knicks lost one game at home is not because of how strong the Magic is, It's a joke for himself, like the Jazz Knicks, who have rested for more than a week and haven't played, the team composed of this group of veterans played very miserable in the first game and had no game at all, so the first game was lost directly, but in the second game, the Knicks abused the Magic team by 25 points, and it seems that this team and the Magic are not at the same level at all.

Although the 1-1 between the Knicks and the Magic is a bit undeserved, but the Pacers and the Hawks played 1-1 that was really intense, these two teams are now the same as the Pacers and Bulls in the first round, almost every game is a game between the lore, extremely anxious, although slightly inferior in strength, but the Pacers are indeed an extremely resilient team, always able to drag the game to the last moment, and this team has one of the best key gentlemen in the league after dragging the game to the last moment, This is also the reason why they were able to eliminate the Bulls, as for whether they can continue to be the dark horse in the second round, I don't know, but even if the Hawks can win, I am afraid it will definitely not be easy.

Now the second round of the playoffs in the East and West has reached the point of white heat, and on May 16, after two days of rest, the Jazz team went to the Golden State to challenge the Warriors, and the old Nelson who has been thinking about how to turn the tables recently met Lin Han, who was full of resentment against the old Nelson in this game, and this game between the Jazz and the Warriors is a good reflection of Lin Han's resentment against the old Nelson, at the beginning of the game, the Jazz team who fought away from home needed to find an offensive touch before they could attack, so it was defensive at the beginning, In the face of the Jazz's defense in the first away game, the Warriors, who had a strong offense, were stunned for half a time, and there was no way to break through the Jazz's defense, or there was no way to break through Lin Han's defense under the basket.

And when the game ended at halftime, when the score between the two sides was actually 46-44, the old Nelson on the sidelines thought he was dazzled, the Warriors only scored 44 points in the half, and the Jazz came to play away, and it was understandable that the Warriors didn't feel good at the beginning, but what kind of trouble was the Warriors playing such an offense?

Not to mention that the old Nelson on the sidelines was a little dumbfounded when he saw the Warriors players who were frightened by Lin Han and kept choosing to litter outside, even the Warriors fans on the sidelines were similar, in this game, except for Sprewell, a madman, who continued to hit the basket after being risked by Lin Han and Lin Han heads-up, the other players were almost all shocked by Lin Han in the middle and long range shooting, although the Warriors' shooting is really good, but if they dare not break through, then the Jazz defenders are too easy when defendingWarriors players have defenders in front of almost every shot.

Of course, at this time, when many players on the Warriors see the player who is almost everywhere under the basket, and think that every pass and run they can be judged in advance by this guy, it is not so surprising that the Warriors players make such a choice on the court at this time, but the old Nelson really can't accept it.

Although the elder Nelson also knows that there is nothing wrong or even better for the Warriors players to choose this style of play on the court, but it is almost impossible for such a Warriors team that has lost its sharp offense to win the Jazz, they had a good chance in this game, but after the Jazz found their touch in the second half, they had no chance at all.

And when the game ended, when the old Nelson on the field saw that his team was defeated by the Jazz 1o7-94 at home, the head coach of the Warriors was almost pale.

A home loss would mean they were 3-3 behind the Jazz, and it pretty much meant they had no chance!

So when the game ended, looking at the Jazz players celebrating together on the court, especially Lin Han, who scored 28 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists and 3 steals and 7 blocks in this game, the Warriors' head coach's hard fists almost made him tremble a little.

Of course, at this time, Lin Han naturally noticed the old Nelson on the sidelines, but for the expression of the Warriors head coach, Lin Han felt very good, who let this guy say that about him before, Lin Han was deliberately suppressing his offense in this game, even when everyone in the team felt bad in the first half, Lin Han did not take over the team's offense,

In order to show the side of his team in this game, Lin Han brushed 7 assists, but for these 7 assists, Lin Han also brushed 6 mistakes, his Kobe-style jump pass is indeed very powerful, either a top ten ball or a low-level mistake, Lin Han was originally going to use Marbury's cross to brush assists, but after thinking about it, he still gave up, after all, the nerves of the Jazz team have been tense recently, and it would not be good if he collapsed.

"Lin Han's assist awareness in this game is very good, I think after this game, but after this game, Lin Han should not change his impression in Nelson's heart"

Looking at Lin Han, who was demonstrating to the old Nelson on the sidelines on the field, Larry Bird also said with a smile.

"In this game, Lin Han played an alternative 5x5, and the Warriors were pushed to the cliff by him" (To be continued!)
